Psalms 53

1 To the chief Musician. On Mahalath: an instruction. Of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have corrupted themselves, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

Dāvida mācības dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim ar stabulēm. Ģeķis saka savā sirdī: Dieva nav. Tie samaitājās un sagānās ar netaisnību, nav neviena, kas labu dara.

2 God looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

Dievs skatās no debesīm uz cilvēku bērniem, redzēt, vai jel kas esot prātīgs, kas Dievu meklē.

3 Every one of them is gone back, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.

Bet tie visi atkāpušies, tie kopā samaitājušies; nav, kas labu dara, it neviena.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? they call not upon God.

Vai tad to neatzīst tie ļauna darītāji, kas manus ļaudis ēd, kā ēd maizi, bet Dievu tie nepiesauc.

5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was; for God scattereth the bones of him that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put [them] to shame, for God hath despised them.

Tad tiem uzkrita bailes, kur bailes nebija; jo Dievs izklīdināja tavu spaidītāju kaulus; Tu tos liki kaunā, jo Dievs tos bija atmetis.

6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.

Ak, kaut Israēla pestīšana nāktu no Ciānas! Kad Dievs novērsīs Savu ļaužu cietumu, tad Jēkabs priecāsies un Israēls līksmosies.
